Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Recombination in bacteria results in the swapping of different genes amongst bacterial genomes. The two strains act as the parental genes and the recombinant strains differ from them in one or more genes. Such recombination can occur due to a conjugation where two bacteria join and swap genes.

We now have at least three SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 vaccines approved by the FDA for use in the United States. These vaccines cause cells in the body to make the spike protein that is on the surface of the virus, and subsequently, stimulate an antibody response to this antigen. A. What do these antibodies do to prevent infection by SARS-CoV-2? How do they interact with the virus particles? B. Which kind of cells in the immune system are responsible for synthesizing these antibodies?
